Why Am I Getting Emails from Twitter?

Depending on your email notification preferences, Twitter may send you notifications about your account activity, such as notifications about new messages or followers. Social media platforms like Twitter, send email notifications to their users to keep them excited and get them back on their feeds.

As we spoke before, Twitter notifications can be easily disabled. However, the setback to this action is that important emails about password changes, for example, won’t be delivered to your inbox as well.

Why Do I Get Twitter Notifications From Someone I Don't Follow?

More than eight years ago, Twitter introduced a new way of viewing Tweets. Namely, besides the possibility of viewing tweets from people you already follow, now you can read tweets of users you don’t follow as well.

These tweets may also end up in your inbox unless you change the settings from your Twitter account and disable Twitter from sending them to you.

Follow the steps above, and you can disable your Twitter email notifications easily and quickly.
